Inspirational model device, spontaneous emotion model device, and related methods and programs

1. An inspiration model device comprising: a spontaneous emotion unit that prepares, as data, a plurality of emotion states in advance, which is obtained by modeling human emotions, and simulates creation of a human spontaneous emotion by causing state transitions to occur repeatedly between said emotion states according to an operation process representing a stochastic model of the Schrödinger equation; a knowledge database that simulates a human inspiration source, which is influenced by sensibility, by classifying externally collected knowledge data depending on degrees of correlation with said emotion states and accumulating said knowledge data; and a conception unit that, when receiving an external input, simulates human conception by combining said external input with one of the emotion states of said spontaneous emotion unit and searching said knowledge database for related knowledge data using, as a search key, one of the combination and a state of interference produced by the combination.

2. The inspiration model device according to claim 1 , wherein said conception unit includes: a surface storage unit that stores the combination of said external input and the emotion state for a predetermined period and forgets the combination after said predetermined period has elapsed; and a deep consciousness updating unit that simulates growth of deep consciousness by increasing probabilities of state transitions to the emotion state of said spontaneous emotion unit when one of said external input and said state of interference corresponds to “encouragement” and decreasing said probabilities of state transitions when one of said external input and said state of interference corresponds to “suppression” when a frequency with which combinations of said external input and the emotion state stored in said surface storage unit are occurred becomes greater than or equal to a prescribed value.

The inspiration simulation method according to claim 4 , further comprising the step of simulating growth of deep consciousness by causing said computer to increase probabilities of state transitions to the emotion state when one of said external input and said state of interference corresponds to “encouragement” and to decrease said probabilities of state transitions when one of said external input and said state of interference corresponds to “suppression” when said computer judges that a frequency with which combinations of said external input and the emotion state are occurred is greater than or equal to a prescribed value.
